Key Reminders
- This is only a starting point – not a substitute for a legal review.
- Every company’s stack, vendors, and jurisdictions differ (especially with pixels, CRMs, and AI tools).
- Policies must be truthful – what you publish should match your actual practices.
- Treat your Privacy Policy as a living document – review it annually, and whenever you add tools, vendors, or new markets.
